A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a long rudraksha mala draped over his chest sits on an orange-cushioned throne-style chair, his long hair swept back.

Behind them are brass vessels, a silver-toned kalasha-like pot, garlands and gilded decorations near a temple shrine. The scene suggests a devotee receiving blessings at a temple setting.
